Mass COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic planned next week in Kerr County

Kerr County residents wanting to receive COVID-19 vaccinations will have an opportunity to do so at a scheduled mass vaccination clinic from Monday through Friday, May 3-7, at Kerrville First United Methodist Church, 321 Thompson Drive.

According to Kerr County Emergency Coordinator Dub Thomas, “The vaccinations will be given on a first-come, first-served basis to walk in visitors. Those planning to show up to get a vaccine can expect to wait in line for a short period of time.”

The clinic will operate from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each of those five days, and next week’s clinic will be the last of its kind in Kerr County. Thomas added, “If the clinic runs out of vaccines for the day, those already in line may be asked to come back the following day.”

After May 7, residents will need to look to vendors such as H-E-B, Walgreens, Walmart, CVS and other pharmacies to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations.
